Miley Cyrus paid homage to President Theodore Roosevelt with her latest ink, an excerpt from a speech he gave at the Sorbonne, Paris in 1910.

Situated on the 19-year-old former "Hannah Montana's" left forearm, the new ink reads: "So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

But who says Miley is the only one who should find tattoo inspiration in unlikely places? Here are some politicians that should take the cue from the future Mrs. Hemsworth and get some ink of their own … using lyrics from Miley's tracks that we think might have special meaning for them.

Sarah Palin
To all those haters out there: “Who says I can’t be President? I say, I say you ain’t seen nothing yet," from "Who Said."

President Barak Obama
An explanation of why “uh” has never been used more in speeches and interviews ever before: “I stu-stu-studder when you ask me what I’m thinking ‘bout,” from "See You Again."

John Edwards
An ode to Andrew Young : “You’re a true friend, you’re here til the end," from "True Friend."

Actress, singer … political history enthusiast?

Modern day Renaissance woman Miley Cyrus showed off her intellectual side yesterday (June 10) on her way home from Pilates class, debuting a brand-new tattoo inspired by the words of former president Theodore Roosevelt.

(Check it out up close here.)

Situated on the 19-year-old’s left forearm, the new ink reads: "So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Miley is either an undercover history buff or really adept at using Wikiquote, because the words are a portion of a speech made by President Roosevelt at the Sorbonne, Paris, in 1910.

The future Mrs. Liam Hemsworth isn’t the only one who finds Roosevelt’s words to be particularly meaningful—Richard Nixon was reportedly a fan of the speech as well, quoting it in his 1968 presidential victory speech and again in 1974 when he resigned from office. So, for those who thought Miley Cyrus and Richard Nixon would never appear in the same sentence … gotcha!

The full passage reads:

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

Hey, at least she picked something better than “speak softly and carry a big stick.” Miley for President?

Miley Cyrus has been known to shock in the past – but this week’s announcement of the 19-year-old star's engagement to 22-year-old boyfriend Liam Hemsworth trumps all. Since this news was released, media outlets have been overwhelmed with a range of opinions from family, friends and fellow artists.

The latest to join the conversation is fellow country music star Carrie Underwood, who spoke out at the CMT Music Awards with some words of wisdom for young Miley. "If you can, be engaged for a while, plan everything slow and take your first couple of years just to really hang out,” she told Extra on the red carpet.

Underwood has been happily married for two years now to Nashville Predators hokey star Mike Fisher. With a happy relationship and engagement in the spotlight behind her, Miley might want to consider taking Carrie's advice.

Miley's parents wasted no time in expressing their support for her decision and future plans. Billy Ray Cyrus took to Twitter to make a very public proclamation of his sentiments. "All I ever hoped for as a Daddy was to see my kids reach their dreams," Billy Ray wrote. "To find happiness...peace of mind ...and someday know... true love." Next up was mom Tish Cyrus, who tweeted, "Wow! All of the love pouring out for Miley and Liam is incredible! So happy for my precious baby girl and the love of her life!”

Response to this news has not been purely positive though, with some chatter that both stars may be too young to jump into marriage. But we imagine Liam's fans are actually the most disapproving of the bunch and we don’t blame them – losing Liam will be a hard day.

The always-controversial Miley Cyrus found herself in some hot water again when a video surfaced of the star, at her 19th birthday party, telling her pals (including Kelly Osbourne), "You know you're a stoner when friends make you a Bob Marley cake—you know you smoke way too much f***in' weed.”

That comment quickly spread across the Internet like a wild fire and once again reminded everyone that Miley may always be Disney’s baddest girl. As everyone woke from their turkey comas on Monday and headed back to work or school or whatever people do on Mondays, Miley decided to address the situation on Twitter.

"Please stop bombarding my friends twitter pages with rude comments. NOTHING gives you the right to threaten people. I love u @MissKellyO," she wrote, shouting out her "So Undercover" co-star, who had already taken to Twitter to defend the pop star.

"Let me make something very clear after @MileyCyrus salvia incident we started calling her bob miley as a JOKE! the cake was also A JOKE! it makes me sick that @MileyCyrus so called 'friends' would sell her out and lead people 2 believe she is someone that she is not!" she explained. "u guys if @MileyCyrus is not recording/filming/touring she is works everyday how could she possible do all that if she was a stoner! #think."

Apparently the Tweeters of the world didn’t think too much, and began bombarding Kells with "rude comments," as Miley put it. The bottom line, according to Miley’s rep, is that it was all meant in good fun. Read More...
